i cant decide what springs i should go with. i already have sport suspension but would like the car to sit lower when i put my wheels on in the spring. i would like to see pics of either setup to help me decide. i searched the gallery but mainly saw cars with 20's on these springs.

thanks

Looks good, did you have factory sport suspension before?

Yep, those are on sport suspensions. Ride quality not affected as my wheels are 19"s but I am not sure what the ride quality is if the car is on 20"s. My main problem now with a lowered ride is humps/steep slopes. The front keeps scraping the floor. dang it!

I am about to be your test subject..... I have sport suspension and went with Eibach Pro. The springs came in the other day and now I am hoping to find a free day to get the car into the shop for installation.

Check out my gallery when you have time...I have Eibach Pro-Kit and 166 wheels. My car has the sport package as well.....I like the look and the ride quality is tighter compared to the standard sport set up.
